1
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:06,320
We are going to test this
with live ammunition.
We're doing the experiment live,
2
00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:08,520
obviously we can't
do this in the studio.
3
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:10,210
In your own time.
4
00:00:10,210 --> 00:00:14,990
From Raymond Baxter live
on Tomorrow's World testing
a new-fangled bullet-proof vest
5
00:00:14,990 --> 00:00:17,470
on a nervous inventor...
6
00:00:17,470 --> 00:00:22,680
to Brian Cox racking
up more Air Miles than an
overworked flight attendant.
7
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:25,490
From Professor Quatermass'
Cold War scariness...
8
00:00:25,490 --> 00:00:28,910
I've been afraid something
would happen we couldn't deal with.
9
00:00:28,910 --> 00:00:32,430
..to Dr Who's new spin on gender
politics. Was someone kissing me?
10
00:00:32,430 --> 00:00:35,290
British television, and, it's hoped,
11
00:00:35,290 --> 00:00:39,830
the great British public have been
fascinated with the brave new world
12
00:00:39,830 --> 00:00:44,100
offered up by science and scientists
since John Logie Baird first thought
13
00:00:44,100 --> 00:00:48,510
of sending
a bicircular electron field
through a vacuumated glass cylinder.
14
00:00:48,510 --> 00:00:50,990
This is transmission
studio number three.
15
00:00:50,990 --> 00:00:55,910
I think the UK probably leads
the world in science communication.
16
00:00:55,910 --> 00:00:59,150
British television does science
better than anybody else
17
00:00:59,150 --> 00:01:02,990
in making it accessible and appealing
but still in a complicated way.
18
00:01:02,990 --> 00:01:06,550
Lift off.
We have lift off on Apollo 11.
19
00:01:06,550 --> 00:01:10,120
We take a fantastic voyage through
six decades of British TV science,
20
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:13,442
from real science programmes
to science fiction.
